Resumen
AMALFA, Flavia et al. Rol de los estreptococos del grupo Streptococcus anginosus en infecciones de piel y partes blandas: reporte de 3 casos. Acta bioquím. clín. latinoam. [online]. 2019, vol.53, n.4, pp.545-549. ISSN 0325-2957.
The Streptococcus anginosus group (SAG) is part of the viridans group streptococci and they belong to the normal human microbiota of the oral cavity, the upper respiratory tract and the gastrointestinal tract. It can produce purulent collections of solid organs, cutaneous abscesses and cellulitis, among other infections. This group has numerous virulence factors such as hyaluronidase, adhesins, extracellular enzymes and hemolysins. The objective of this work is to present three clinical cases of infections associated with trauma related to the oral cavity such as fist bumps or human bites. In all of them, the SAG developed as a single organism, which highlights its important role in this type of infection.
